I have no idea. Dad never complained about them and had a whole trellis of them.

Now they grow on trellises!? My night is upended. I will be researching for sure, thanks!

Tbh, I’d grow them myself except
- They spread out like crazy
- My HOA would have kittens. We’re not allowed to grow quote “vegetables” because they might attract bears. I’ve gotten away with mint and chives because they’re small and I can argue being confused (“herbs aren’t vegetables!”) but a trellis full of growing giant dangling luffa on my condo porch might be a bit much.

Any melon, gourd, or even most vine-based flowers I really recommend a simple automated irrigation mechanism especially in a hot climate because they are thirsty.
